Good TFT for Gaming

I plan to buy a TFT.
I currently work and play on my PC.
Games i usually are Fisr Person Shooters.
I heared TFTs are now so fast that you can play fast games on them. Is this true? If so which ones are good, which ones are bad?
I run XP in 1280*1024 on a 19" Eizo/Nanao. I have a GF4Ti4200 with 128MB
Can I run higher resolutions on a 17" TFT?
Is the new Samsung 172B good (that one was recommeded to me mostly)
Anyone here who can share good information to me regarding this??
Thank you!

The max resolution of most 17" TFT'2 is usually 1280x1024.
I just received the Samsung Syncmaster 172T . I am really happy with it. It's even fast enough for UT2003 sessions !.
There are reviews of it here:
http://www.modfactor.com/reviews/monitors/Samsung172T/Samsung172t.html

I'd buy the T and not the B model because of the additional DVI-Connection !
Regards,
Andy

do processors make a difference to fps ingame?
Not as much as the performance of the graphics chip, because that is what does all the heavy lifting as far as rending on the screen. Intel HD 3000, 4000 etc., only graphics is really poor as it's only CPU based.
It's really not advised to use a expensive Mac laptop for 3D gaming, especially the Retina because it's sealed.
The reason is the hotter the Mac gets, the more air it has to draw in to cool the machine, which more vent clogging dust it inhales which overheats the machine and tends to shorten it's lifespan. Also using the inferior bubble membrane keyboard too much tends to wear it out.
If you want to 3D game, either buy a dedicated Windows 7 3D gaming tower so you can clean the dust out, upgrade the graphics card and be compatible with everyone else, use tougher keyboards (clicky clack types) and so forth, or if your budget can't do that and the Mac, then a PS3 or a XBox.
3D games are always improving, new ones come out and require better video cards, you can't upgrade a video card in a laptop. So you won't be playing for long.
OS X changes every year, so it breaks games. Windows 7 will remain so until 2020.

TigerDirect will help you build a gaming PC, and with this video card you'll likely never have to upgrade it.

FIOS not good ISP for gaming in North East, bad routing to canada and west coast.

Yes the same thing has been happening to me. It also appears it was a problem back in january according to this thread....

Here is a past MWO thread started at the same time by a verizon customer. I believe almost all of thise users have quit fios or quit MWO.
http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/91680-higher-ping-times-after-patch/page__st__80
Many people in the game believe its due to MWO patches, but I think thats just a placebo. I believe it is to do with the cold winter months and verizon not being able to handle the load. Speedtests to any west coast, specifically vancouver server, have the same results.
I have called verizon, gone to live chat, spoken to many different supervisors and technicians and have gotten no help with this issue. They basically tell me its not their problem.
After doing many traceroutes and speedtests. It appears I am getting routed through europe to get to canada from NY, which just doesn't make any common sense. First verizon claims the link router sending us to europe is not owned by them. Then we have to prove to them that it in fact is with public business records and WHOIS reports. Which also seemed to be the case for others in that thread back in january.
IT seems the issue in january might of been that particular router was geting overloaded they might have fixed the circuit on that verizon link/border router in question. But now it seems the issue has been passed up the line to the next link router and now that next circuit up the line is getting congested.
Below you can see some traceroutes when I am receiving the bad ping:

Going from 20 ping to 100 depending on time of day, which seems to 24 hours a day now! is a real tease and frustrating, and when there is packet loss or excessive spikes, thats when we lose the connection, session lost messages, black screen issue...etc...
When reading that past thread, The problem server back in january was tinet-gw.customer.alter.net [152.179.72.122] (the one that routes us through europ) but now it seems the burden has been passed up the chain to the next link/border router and circuit internap-gw.ip4.tinet.net [77.67.70.94].
Maybe the guys back in january were able to pressure verizon to increase bandwidth on the tinet circuit on tha verizon router in NY because they actually owned that server, even though they originally tried to lie and claim they didn't. Even if not part of FIOS, and after the 6th hop. Its obvious it was theirs cause it ends with alter.net, was right here in NYC, WHOIS reports gave verizons email, and business records show they bought it in 2006.
Fios doesn't contact DSL, residential doesn't contact business...etc.. Its like this company doesn't remember how 9/11 happened!!!
BUt Now the burden is on the the next link router which routes to internap. And that is a german server and part of tinet.net and is a different company that verizon does not have direct access to. Verizon would not even email the admin for me, which many feel is unprofessional.
You can try emailing that admin yourself or doing some trace routes your self and calling and pressuring verizon to address the issue themselves.
It seems verizon fios can't handle routing people to canada, especially in the cold months of the year. They must not be able to handle their load. It seems verizon fios is really a scam, and fiber optics is just a pretty name, but in reality is no different then any other network, except locally. The only difference we need to look at when buying bandwidth, is pricing period. The fact it is fiber optics means diddly squat! And the more people that get fios, i predict the worse their network is going to get.
I have sent an email to the admin of that german server {edited for privacy} but I would be shocked if I got any reply. Ridiculous for verizon to suggest I do that in the first place.
People with timer warner in the same area are getting constant 20-40 ping to MWO, while verizon fios customers are getting terrible connections right now.

What you are seeing here has nothing at all to do with what your speed is. Latency has nothing to do with speed, it has to do with distance and network congestion. Your local ISP, no matter who it is, can not directly affect how another company (in your case Internap Network Services Corporation) routes data. Now if there was a problem in a link directly connected to your local ISP, for example:
4 94 ms 12 ms 10 ms ae0-0.NY325-BB-RTR2.verizon-gni.net [130.81.209.110]
5 9 ms 15 ms 12 ms 0.so-4-0-1.XT2.NYC4.ALTER.NET [152.63.10.29]
*from your tracert
The above link is leaving Verizon local control and entering Alter.Net control, if there was latency on a regular basis there then this should be reported to Verizon as your local ISP and that will filter up to their NOC group who will contact Alter.net and figure out the issue with that link. If the issue is a faulty link it will get fixed, if the issue is a link undergoing to much traffic its ability to handle the traffic will either be increased where possible or routed around where possible. The whole issue of peer-to-peer networking is very complex (which is what the Supreme Court was reviewing by the way) and a number of issues come into play. If the connection point only experiences high traffic sometimes on a very limited basis then generally routing some traffic to different connections is what is done.
Now in your later postes you show the following:
8 38 ms 39 ms 39 ms xe-8-2-0.tor10.ip4.tinet.net [141.136.107.98]
9 100 ms 104 ms 103 ms internap-gw.ip4.tinet.net [77.67.70.94]
10 97 ms 99 ms 98 ms border1.te7-1-bbnet1.tor001.pnap.net [70.42.24.132]
11 103 ms 103 ms 96 ms relay-1.mwtactics.com [70.42.29.65]
That clearly shows the problem is inside the tinet.net (Internap Network Services Corporation) network. This network is also the network providing the link into this game server. What does this tell us? From what you are seeing it tells us that either Internap does not have enough bandwidth to server the amount of traffic down to this server or the game company has not purchased a high enough link. The latter is unlikely. Most likely the issue is that Verizon's Fios product is growing with more and more people are trying to reach that game from the Fios network. This causes issues at the link point, which Verizon apparently has taken steps to fix as well as those internal links going down to the game servers. Now your local ISP (Verizon) cannot help the latter half of that. One can hope the end user ISP (in your case Internap Network Services Corporation) will increase their internal bandwidth or router traffic around problem areas.

Is it good enough for gaming?

My question is actually does the Macbook Pro have enough of the graphics and stuff i'd be buying the i7 2,3ghz and 8gb ram
Will it be enough for running CoD serie and BF for instense?

Without knowing much about gaming, I would definitely say yes. Without any problems. As long as they are compatible, they should show up more vivid and beautiful than in other computers.

Is the 3.06 GHz iMac good enough for gaming? How good is the performance?

The primary difference between the two cheapest iMacs is the graphics card and the 500 GB hard drive increase. The hard drive upgrade can be ignored for a moment, since the worst case scenario is I buy an external 500 GB hard drive for $50. For the graphics card, though, how big of a performance boost would I get from upgrading to the next graphics card, which would be going from the ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 256MB to the ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB? Is the 256MB probably going to be sufficient to last at least four years, or should I just pay the extra $300 or so to upgrade to the 512 MB? The market price difference between the two models is about $50 at the moment.
I have a MBP right now as you can see in my signature; as it's four years old already, gaming-wise, it can't really play the latest games anymore. It's capable of playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (not the sequel) at the lowest graphics settings and only getting 30 FPS or so when there's little action, but that can easily drop to 15 FPS or less when there's stuff happening on the screen.
I don't play video games all that much (let's say five hours a week), but I'd at least like a computer that doesn't need to be replaced too soon, either, so I'm currently on the fence between these two models. I definitely don't want to go the next step and get a 27" iMac, though, since I already have a 21" monitor and so getting an extra 21" iMac would fit best with it, and I'm happy with the size as it is as I usually use my computer for programming and such.

Not even the top end card included in the 27" models is going to last 4 years, so you may as well rule out the iMac right now. You're going to want something a bit more user-friendly on the upgrade front. So, that limits you to the Mac Pro if you want to stay with Apple products. Otherwise, you're going to want to build your own PC so you can build in some modularity.

Anyone like their Macbook Retina for gaming?

I have the 15". I keep getting worried and regretful about my purchase. I love the laptop, but does anyone think it is good enough for gaming? I do 1920x1200 usually. Is it good enough?

It is reality.
As ds store has stated "Because of this there isn't the selection of games on Mac's as Windows, because eventually gamers realize this and move to Windows instead."
I am one of those that has moved to PC Windows for games. In addition to the Towers there are Gaming Laptops for those who want mobility. While only mildly upgradeable compared to the towers they easily surpass the Macs in specs and at less cost. I did a comparison of the new MacBook Pro Retina and a Clevo P150EM and have pasted it below.

Is the MacBook Pro with retina display good for gaming?

I was looking at the MacBooks and I was thinking about the one with retina display. I wanted to know if it was good for gaming also. Just something like skyrim or maybe WOW.

If you're not a heavy gamer, then yes it will be great.
I play WoW at full retina display with the performance I noted above - if you have trouble, you could always revert to 1440x900 just for WoW and Skyrim.
I know WoW lets you choose a resolution within the game so nothing wo worry about outside - not sure about Skyrim but maybe so?
I am a light gamer. I used to have a 2011 MBA, just an off the shelf model with no upgrades, and it played WoW very well for its size etc.
An iMac would be great too. For the price of a rMBP you could go for an iMac for games/home use and a base spec MBA for working on outside...?
However iMacs are pretty outdated atm - not allowed to say much on here but might wanna wait for something to happen...

How good is a Macbook Pro with dual video cards for gaming?

I've been a PC guy my whole life (aside from my iPhone which I love). My gf has been pushing me to try out a mac and considering how my PC laptops have a pretty good track record of dying on me or encountering some other problems after a year or two, I can't help but consider making the investment. The only thing is, I'm a big gamer and usually get the latest games. I'm not super tech savvy though I do my research and get a sense of what kind of specs are better and worse.
In terms of gaming, I always assumed that more ram = better. In that sense, I'm a little put off that even the most expensive MacBook Pro only comes with 4 gigs of ram (which is what my year and a half old laptop has now) especially when it seems most newer laptops have 8 gigs minimum for a fraction of the price (and 16 gigs if you're willing to spend as much as you would on the most expensive macbook pro). Does RAM somehow work differently on a Mac or is it truly that little?
Also, how does the whole dual video card thing work, does that mean I'd be having the power of those two cards put together?
Personally, I've been leaning towards the Asus G53SX-NH71 because I can buy it for less than the cost of the cheapest macbook pro and as far as gaming purposes go it seems to have more power than even the most expensive Macbook which costs over double the price.
Am I missing something here? Do the dual video cards really bring that much to the table or for gaming purposes am I better off with a PC?
Thanks.

I've been watching this forum for years, and I'll have to say that gamers are not a big group around here. A few things. First, getting 8GB of RAM for the MacBook Pro is cheap. Most people either don't care, pay Apple to do it, or, like me, DIY. The max you put in a MBP is 8GB, so no 16GB, unless you were looking at the iMac or MacPro.
Second, there is no dual video card in a MacBook Pro. There is an integrated video card, an Intel HD3000, which shares RAM with the CPU, or a discrete video card, an AMD, various versions on different MBP's. The Intel is for low battery usage. The AMD is more powerful, and it's to be used when you've got power. The video card has more applications than just gaming, but also in video and photo editing.
No one here is going to talk you into one platform or another. If you are only going to game in Windows, then it's a waste to get a Mac. If you're going to game in Windows but want the Mac side to do everything else, the build quality and elegance of the Mac will far exceed most products out there. You can run Windows in Boot Camp natively, and as I understand, gamers love it, because the Mac is actually a better Windows machine than most Windows machines. But I don't play games, so I have no proof.
So the choice is yours. And we could argue all day long about the side by side comparison of a cheap Windows machine vs. the Mac. You are using the price vs. price comparison that is a false dichotomy, ignoring how one values various features. For example, the trackpad on a MacBook Pro far exceeds (and I mean light year exceeds) anything on any other laptop out there.
I spent 10 minutes answering your question. I'm not debating you on x vs. y. The choice is totally on what you're going to do. Most of us are trying to contribute to the world, so gaming is low on the needs list.

Is the 802.11 ac good for gaming?

we have 3 xboxes in my house and I was wondering if this device would be good for gaming?

If you are trying to run 3 xboxes at once to online games you will find it well neigh impossible without a router that is fully Microsoft Vista UPNP spec and above.. due to the nature of NAT routers each xbox will need the same ports opened .. this is not possible.. only using upnp can xbox negotiate a different port.. and apple did not include upnp in the apple router.. so I think you are going to run into big problems.. you cannot simply use port mapping..
I would strongly recommend a router on the xbox compatible list.

15" Macbook Pro i7 4GB Ram good for gaming?

Hi, I'd like to know if the 15" MBP i7 4GB Ram good for gaming? I'm not gonna be an intense gamer I would just like to play games during my down time. All I will be playing is like 1 MMORPG and maybe 1 or 2 FPS games. I will not be doing this all at once. I will be using bootcamp. I have some friends tell me that they wouldn't play games on the MBP because it could ruin it? Is this true? They tell me that it's not wise to play games on this laptop.

It would depend on the games and how demanding they are, but generally laptops make for horrible gaming platforms in general. Apple laptops in particular tend to be among the thinnest of the bunch. A MBP can be thinner than plenty of netbooks out there while packing considerably more punch. That doesn't leave a lot of room for any excess heat that may be generated while gaming.
If we're talking older games, that probably aren't all that demanding, then maybe. If we're talking newer games that are pushing the limits of the laptop's specs, I'd recommend against it.

Right, so I just purchased the new Mac Book Pro 13-inch: 2.3 GHz, Is it any good for gaming, On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best) how good?
Can I run games like The Sims 3 flawlessly? Will I have problems with lagging and speed .etc?

Sims 3 will run on medium setting with approximately 33 fps (which is ok).
Most other games will run on low settings, some on medium. Its definitely not a gaming laptop but it can handle some games.

Good for gaming??

I am getting a laptop for college and I was wondering how the 17 inch macbook pro is for gaming. I play City of Villains, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Age of Conan, Lord of the Rings Online, and I will be playing Global Agenda,The Old Republic, and Champions Online when they come out. How can the new macbook pro handle these games?

Dont get a laptop with a videocard much stronger than the 9600 or 9800m. Any laptop with SLI cards will overheat and also weigh at least 10 lbs. If you really need a gaming machine then build a PC desktop. I would certainly agree that the 13" with the 9400m is all you'll need for laptop needs since you want something that's portable, has a good battery, and wont overheat. If you want power and dont care to carry a computer around, build a desktop. If you want a laptop, get the 13" MB or MBP. With a $2000 budget you could buy the MB AND build a desktop to run all those games flawlessly. In reality, a laptop will never run a game as nice as a desktop in the same price range.
Coming from a college student, the more portable your laptop the better it is. You will never carry around a 17" laptop no matter if it's Mac, Alienware, or w/e.

Is F20 good for gaming?

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a Qosmio F20-130 but I'm not sure how good it would be for gaming? I note that the GPU isn't the best but I'd be really pleased to hear from anyone who's had first-hand experience.

Hi
Qosmio is a very nice notebook.
As far as I know it was delivered with a strong nVIDIA GeForce FX Go6600 128 MB graphic card.
The fact is that the notebook graphic cards are not similar with the desktop PC graphic cards.
The notebook graphic cards has no own cooling system because of space. In this case the graphic driver controls the graphic card performance. It decreases the performance if the temperature goes to the critical level. But this activation you will find on all notebooks.
A friend of my uses a G20 for gaming. Its not a F20 but very similar. And he is very satisfied.

Which notebook model is good for gaming?

Hello!
Prompt me please what better to take notebook for games from your firm?
In advance thanks!

Hi Dmitriy
Well, it's not easy to say which notebook is good for gaming.
A friend of mine has bought a Qosmio notebook and was satisfied with the performance. Also the newer Satellite notebooks are pretty performance strong.
In my opinion if you want to play only the games and the portable factor is not very important for your so I would recommend to use the desktop PC.
The desktop PC is easier for device and part upgrading. You can change the CPU and the graphic card. The notebook upgrading is not very easy and some parts like graphic card or CPU cannot be changed.
Also the graphic card drivers are very important for the gaming. Notebooks manufacturers use not original graphic card manufacturer's drivers. They design own graphic drivers because of the graphic card overheating protection. Sometimes such drivers are a little bit older then newer original graphic card drivers and not compatible with the newer games.
It's your choice.
